Christmas and New Year Services 2015/16

Below is a summary of Christmas/New Year services in the Humber region provided by Arriva Yorkshire, EYMS, First South Yorkshire (who still serve the Humber region with a morning peak service from Epworth), First York, Hornsby Travel, Stagecoach and Transdev (York and Yorkshire Coastliner). Services provided by these operators outside of the region are not covered. If anyone has information for other operators, please post a comment and I will update this post. Please check exact details before travelling.Christmas Eve - Normal weekday service with an early evening finish around 7-8pm, except First South Yorkshire, First York and Transdev who shall provide a Saturday service. Transdev service X36 shall operate a normal Thursday service.Christmas Day - No Services

EYMS Services 106, 107, 143, 160, X36 and the Beverley Town Shopper Shuttle will not operate (these services would not usually operate on a Tuesday). Oddly the Saturday only service 173 is not stated in EYMS publicity as not operating.

EYMS Friday and Saturday evening only journeys on routes 18, 75, 121 and X47 shall not operate (i.e. a normal Tuesday evening service will operate)

EYMS service 135 will have normal Tuesday departures from Driffield at 0910 and 1140, however the 0655 and 1710 journeys will not operate

Stagecoach services 1, 2, 20 and 25 in North East Lincolnshire will operate a normal Tuesday service

Transdev York services 10 and X36 will operate a normal Tuesday service

Notable are Stagecoach services in North Lincolnshire operating a Saturday service on the normal weekdays between Christmas and New Year, rather than a normal timetable as is usually provided. However while a change from normal, on most routes the Saturday and School/College Holiday timetables are either identical or very similar, so the impact will be very small.Wednesday 30th - A Saturday service for most operators, except Hornsby Travel who will provide a normal Wednesday service. There are exceptions as follows:

EYMS Services 195, 241, 360 and 361 will operate a normal Wednesday service

EYMS Services 106, 107, X36 and the Beverley Town Shopper Shuttle will not operate

EYMS Friday and Saturday evening only journeys on routes 18, 75, 121 and X47 shall not operate (i.e. a normal Wednesday evening service will operate)

Stagecoach services 1, 2, 20 and 25 in North East Lincolnshire will operate a normal Wednesday service

Transdev York services 10 and X36 will operate a normal Wednesday service

New Years Eve - A Saturday service for most operators, with an early evening finish around 7-8pm, except Hornsby Travel who will provide a normal Thursday service with an early evening finish around 7pm. There are exceptions as follows:

EYMS Services 134, 196, 360 and 361 will operate a normal Thursday service

EYMS Services 106, 107, X36 and the Beverley Town Shopper Shuttle will not operate. Oddly the Mon/Wed/Sat only service 143, and Wed/Sat only 160 are not stated in EYMS publicity as not operating.

EYMS service 135 will have normal Thursday departures from Driffield at 0910 and 1140, however the 0655 and 1710 journeys will not operate

Stagecoach services 1, 2, 20 and 25 in North East Lincolnshire will operate a normal Thursday service

Stagecoach services 5+ and 11+ in Hull shall provide a limited service until around 11pm

Stagecoach services 2 (serving Hessle), 3 (to Greatfield and Bilton Grange but not Orchard Park), 5+ and 11+ in Hull shall provide a nightbus service, with last departures from Hull City Centre at 0200 (later than the residual Saturday nightbus service)

Transdev York service X36 will operate a normal Thursday service

(As a result the usual Thursday variation to Stagecoach service 260 'Barton Villager' will not be provided, however East Halton will be inaccessible without a significant diversion anyway due to a level crossing closure, and residents of the Dam Road area of Barton will still have the Hornsby operated Town Service on Wednesday 30th).New Years Day - No Services

UPDATE - Please see the comments section for details of coach services.

Although not strictly local bus both National Express and Stagecoach Megabus will be operating services. On Boxing Day National Express will run the usual 562 Hull to London and this year 534 to Glasgow but nothing on New Years Day. Megabus will be operating on both Boxing Day (Two journeys each way) and New Year's Day (One journey each way) to London. Of course no trains on Boxing Day (The Megabus coach goes through to London) but nearly a full service on New Year's Day.
